Members to take advantage of its Members’ Lounge and Chamber membership means businesses can access preferential rates to the Chamber Space meeting and conference rooms. The Chamber has local Account Executives and Membership Managers who are here to support businesses throughout their membership by providing valuable area knowledge and account management.

Business Groups and Committees

Each local area has a plan to develop member-led campaigns to represent and champion the views of local business.

This work is determined by the area's Business Group, which meets quarterly to discuss the policy issues impacting upon Chamber members.

The Chamber's Local Presidents

Each of the 10 local areas has a Local President - a leading high profile Chamber member - to champion and represent business in their area. 

Supported by the Chamber's Regional Managers and Policy team, each area uses feedback from members, gathered at our Action For Business Forums and other sources, to develop activity and campaigns.
